[Atrix 4G General] jarsh92:
Can anyone confirm they have had their accounts changed without their permission? And if so what plans did you originally have? I don't see how att can see the difference. When I look at my usage, it looks just like the usage as when I am browsing on my phone.
[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
AT&T has changed some people's data plan automatically?
[Atrix 4G General] shadowscreation:
from what i understand thats when people have been trying to use the hotspot that came with the phone by changing the apn and running with it this is differint its an app that is seperate from that to my knowledge someone correct me if im wrong
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
Did you assume that the APN method changes the plan or did you actually see someone say that their plan was changed as a result of that method?

You seriously need to learn how to use punctuation and grammar. I had to read your last post a few times before I could clearly understand what you were trying to say.
[Atrix 4G General] designgears:
I have been using the APN since Tuesday, very heavily, I have Unlimited Data plan. No changes to my account.
[Atrix 4G General] SNadler:
I also have been using the WIFI hotspot for hours at a time with the unlimited plan and checking my account online shows no changes to date.:D
[Atrix 4G General] Rred:
"I don't see how att can see the difference."

My IP is a bit rusty but I *think* any packets (any data) that are being routed through your phone to some other final destination (a tethered computer) will show the IP address of that final destination, rather than the IP address of the phone. And the phone will be shown as a part of the route.

So...it could be as simple as examining the packets and looking for the ones that aren't targeted to end at the phone. If someone bothers to look for it.
[Atrix 4G General] One Bob Show:
If the tethering uses NAT (which I'd imagine it does, though I didn't verify that) you wouldn't be able to tell the difference IP-wise between the phone and the host using the computer.
[Atrix 4G General] wayne710:
If you go on-line to your ATT account and check under current data usage, you will find that under data usage it will state in the TO/FROM column "phone" with non-tethered usage and when tethered it states "wap.cingular." It looks like a pretty big marker but so far, no changes have been made to my plan.
[Atrix 4G General] azwildfire:
Sure here is a similar mod that used to work for verizon - verizon quickly fixed it

http://it-john.com/home/technology/android-technology/free-tethering-for-htc-indredible-on-verizon/

Since you are using login information, they can simply check your phone info and when they see you logging in with WAP credentials yadda yadda

Anyway - mine changed twice - on 2 phones - but i viewed my account data using the myAT&T app. http://market.android.com/details?id=com.att.myWireless

Just my experience.
[Atrix 4G General] jarsh92:
That's interesting. I wonder if that's something new they changed. I swear when I looked a few days ago that all my usage was shown as wap.Cingular. when I look back before I got the attic all my blackberry phone browsing was shown as wap.Cingular also.
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
I just wish they'd stop charging for tethering. It doesn't make any sense to me. Yes, having your phone tethered to a laptop or the like means you could potentially use a LOT more of the bandwidth a lot faster and for a lot longer.... but if you have a limited plan, then you're only paying more for your plan a lot faster. That's the only reason i can see that they DID ditch the unlimited plans as a selectable option for people who haven't had it before. Little bit more incentive to go for a tethering plan.... to pay to use your bandwidth quicker.
[Atrix 4G General] jarsh92:
Was actually just comparing all the apn's on my phone and noticed something.

the default select APN has the apn settings as "phone". So I went to the APN that we created for tethering and changed the apn setting from "wap.cingular" to "phone".

Saved the setting, checked connection, and then fired up tethering. Still seems to work as I am tethering to my laptop right now making this post. I will watch my online usage then next few days to see if it shows it as "phone" or as "wap.cingular". Pretty sure it will change to all showing "phone", so we might want to change the directions if this holds up and works.

Just something else to help hide what we are doing.
[Atrix 4G General] wayne710:
Nice find!
[Atrix 4G General] clockbox:
I have both "phone" and "wap.cingular" data usage in my history, but I haven't done any tethering or added any APNs. Could that be because I was on Edge at the time? The APN for wap.cingular is labeled as AT&T US while the APN for phone is AT&T US HSDPA.

And just to clarify, when you are tethering using the added APN are you just using the stock mobile hotspot app?
[Atrix 4G General] jarsh92:
Yes, using the stock hotspots app. I don't think you can use any market ones unless you have the phone rooted.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
About a month ago, my Sprint signal at my house was absolutely horrible. I was getting at most, 80KB/s download and 50 Kb/s upload. I always had 1 bar and connection often dropped on me. However, now I am getting nearly 2 MB/s DL and 1 MB/s upload speeds ON 3G, at my house. I thought Sprint had upgraded their towers near my house, so I was excited. However, I realized that when I go down the street, it's back at 1-2 bars, 2G speeds. I heard of an Airave (Did I say it right?) that acts as a mini tower for Sprint. Could one of my neighbors possibly bought one recently and my phones are sharing it with him/her?

http://support.sprint.com/support/device/Sprint/AIRAVE_by_Sprint-dvc1230001prd/?ECID=vanity:airave

I'm just curious...lol
[Epic 4G General] tmuka:
Mine automatically uses the one at my sister's house when I visit, so I think your theory is right. I get great 3g speeds on the airave too.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
How does this thing work? Maybe I can use one at my grandmas house. :p
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
I'm pretty sure the Airave does not do EVDO...
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
To find out if your within airave coverage, dial *99

If your in an airaved coverage, it will tell you. If your not, it will say this code is invalid.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
The new ones do. Mine gives evdo and goes about 15 houses up the block.
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
Cool, going to have to tell my dad to get a new one!
[Epic 4G General] tenaciousj:
Could be a airave, I got one and love it. Try placing a call and listen for 3 beeps before the call goes out, if you hear that you're on an airave.
[Epic 4G General] sponge66:
You can visit any corporate store to get one. The new ones are sweet. Its 4.99 a month to use you plan minutes and 19.99 for unlimited calling while connected. You must also have high speed internet and a router
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I dialed *99 and it said invalid code, I'm assuming Sprint just tweaked their network ONLY for my house. LOL!

Regardless, I'll look into one of these anyways. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tfvaldo:
First of all, I know this isn't the correct place for me to post this, but as a low post count user of this forums, I can't post on the correct section.

Next, I'd like to say how impressed I am with DamianGTO's Ultimate Kernel. I've installed it yesterday and my SGS is lightning fast. The feel of smoothness and speed of this kernel just made my SGS brand new, and I only own it for a month.

Battery wise, I've lost 20% battery in 12 hours, considering that I've used GPS for 2 hours, then I've stayed for 6 hours on my parent's house where mobile signal is between bad and total disaster, surfed the internet, my sister played some angry birds, etc. So, I feel this 20% drain is too little to be honest. Overnight I used to loose 14 to 16% of battery. Let's see tonight how it goes. (I forgot to see it last night :))

Last but not least, I've also installed GTG465 TouchWiz Mod. I must say this is how Samsung should have done it. The improvements gtg465 added are amazing. Too bad gtg465 has abandoned development because his job here is superb. Hopefully webstar1 will pickup the line and take this to the next step (if there is any).

So, I'd like to send a big thank you to both DamianGTO and gtg465 for putting up such awesome kernel and modded launcher, respectively. I know this is personal, some will hate it, some will love it. But for me, these 2 have received my respect and kudos.

-- EDIT 28 Feb --

I've noted battery drain overnight and it was like 4% only. Leaving wi-fi and 3G off as usual. Probably something else was using more battery, because the difference is too big. Maybe the extra launchers I have removed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ragin:
Welcome to the world of developers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bdl1969:
You could always send PMs directly to DamianGTO and gtg465 to thank them personally instead of spamming the forum..... ;)

IMO, all our Devs do a fantastic job of keeping our phones running quickly and smoothly and giving us features that Samsung don't seem capable of. Maybe se should turn this into a general Dev appreciation thread! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tfvaldo:
Will do it next time. But I just though of doing this in public, just as if I was posting on their specific threads.

By the way, with this post I get my 10th post and probably I'm now able to post on the dev threads :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bdl1969:
Congratulations on coming of age! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CraneGuy:
Haha the 10 post thing can make it hard to post your questions/comments in the right place but the ultimate kernel result is the best I've tried so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tfvaldo:
hahahah Couldn't agree more :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
Thanks.

I do this for I like it.

If people like my work and use it then it make me very happy.

You can't get a better reward then this kind of posts.

Thank you very much.

**DamianGTO Ultimate kernel. 350MB Ram. 600HZ. all ext2. Steam Rom. Js5**
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jotan:
Is this Ultimate kernal better than speedmod? What are the differences?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pikachu01:
You should try both and see the results for yourselves. A lot of dependencies including the apps you use, lagfix options, custom/stock roms that you use that could bring different experiences to different people.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tfvaldo:
I liked Damian's better than Speedmod. Battery drains seems to be smaller, overall usage and smoothness is great. But like pikachu01 said, it's personal taste. You should try both and see the one that you prefer. It's always possible to go back from one to the other if you need it ;)

[Captivate General] bulletproof1013:

[Captivate General] Enhanced:
They gave us "something" because they promised to give it to us. They didn't do it out of sheer goodwill.

Samsung promised the update when the phone was released and only now are they following through on their promise. Many people bought the phone with updatability in mind. You can think of this update as a "service" that they had to fulfill, not something that we should be grateful for.

It's like thanking your mechanic for fixing your car or your waiter for refilling your water. We paid for them to do it.

Now if we get Gingerbread, that would be a different story. What would be something worth thanking and being grateful for.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
I thank my waiter for refilling my water. Just because it's someone's job doesn't mean they don't deserve thanks.

THIS THREAD SHOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE MIS-INFORMED

Samsung released 2.2 MONTHS ago to Providers. Some providers in europe and canada (rogers) all released 2.2 for captivate months ago to the public.

AT&T releasing 2.2 is not Samsung. Samsung did their job. ON TIME. ATT DIDNT.

thats also why the new AT&T 2.2 added nothing new to XDA. NOTHING. we already had that AND BETTER.
[Captivate General] rajendra82:
When you asked your waiter for water, he promised soon, but instead went to the table next to yours and filled up their glasses a couple of times. You were still thirsty, so the people sitting at the other table shared their water with you. You were just about done with the meal, then finally the waiter came and poured you a glass of water. Do you thank them?
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Did the waiter take 7 months to refill your water when you thanked him?

[Samsung Mesmerize] Onebryteday:
phidelt82 has just posted the steps to get to EB16 installed using ODIN for the mesmerize.

First great job phidelt82! :)

I have already installed EA11 stock+root+recovery and have the EA11-voodoo kernel installed and working on my mesmerize.

Following your guide are we to disable lagfix before any of this and reboot right?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Doesn't matter
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
This will be the same as for ea11, everything done to your phone will be completely erased when you go to eb16.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Always disable lagfix as a precaution. Especially when you are doing an Odin flash.
[Samsung Mesmerize] JayRHamlin:
To re-enable lagfix do I just reflash the voodoo.zip? I tried enabling it through CWM but no dice.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Yes just reflash the Froyo version.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
To re-enable the lagfix, just go back in to recovery, select voodoo, then enable lagfix and reboot.
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
might i ask why before Odin?...just for the reason i havnt done this before...call me stupid plz but what risk does this carry?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Since the partition is written as ext4 then you are just flashing it with rfs without converting it back. I can't say that it's going to happen every time, but it's possible that you can cause problems that are really hard to fix. From what I've seen it really sucks.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s84471:
I'm wondering what the normal ranges for the battery voltage on the Epic are.

I ask because as the phone's charge drops, the screen begins to exhibit unusual bars flickering across when at full brightness (and displaying mostly white).

From what I can tell, it's caused by the display not receiving enough power to keep all the pixels on full white, and this theory is somewhat backed up by watching the battery voltage drop before the bars start showing up.

When fully juiced up, it runs at around 4-4.2v, but when it gets lower (below 40 or 50 even) it drops well below 4v, down to around 3.5v.

I've always wondered if I had a bad battery (since it seems to lose charge even when plugged in), and if my voltages are really out of whack, I guess my suspicions are confirmed and the battery is defective.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blankrubber:
I will check my voltages throughout the day and let you know what I get. I've had my phone for just under a year now and it gets pretty heavy usage. My battery voltage when plugged in at 100% charge is about 4.1V according to Spare Parts.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
Didn't the epic come out on 8/31/10? If so that's not even close.to a year.its like half a year

Sent from my Evo Killer!!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blankrubber:
Yeah, I'm an idiot. I've had it since launch.

Unplugged stats for the day:

Battery 100% -> Voltage 4.1V

Battery 50% -> Voltage 3.8V

Battery 30% -> Voltage 3.75V

These are just my readings for reference.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s84471:
Hmm, about on par with what I've been seeing.

When your battery is down at around 30%, and the brightness is maxed, does the screen distort in any way when displaying almost entirely white? (I notice it when firing up Dolphin and loading Google).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blankrubber:
Well, not that I've noticed. I sometimes run an app called Screen Filter to apply a dark overlay to the screen to dim in when I'm on my phone in a dark room, and occasionally I'll see quick flickering verticle lines of pixels that seem to pulse in a random fashion against a white background. I would say that's just my screen filter, though, because I've never seen it unless it's on.

Next time my battery's < 30% I'll try it out and report back.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Braydon525:
I'm having some trouble with the mount command. More specifically when trying to mount the system without going into shell. It worked fine on 2.1, but on 2.2 I get an error. The command I'm typing is:

./adb shell mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

The error I get is:

mount: Operation not permitted

However, when I go into shell su, and just type the mount command, it works fine. I need to get the mount command to work outside of shell for a bash script that I am writing. If I enter shell in the script, the script does not finish executing, and I cannot enter commands into the adb shell prompt. Any idea?

I have a Samsung Fascinate running EB01 and the phone has been rooted. I'm also doing this on a mac.

Thanks.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fduraibi:
Hi, i need help from the developers who were able to compile a working rom from Samsung Froyo code for the Vibrant.

First of all i don't want a full working ROM, all i need is just to add the Arabic language support to the libwebcore.so. So before doing anychanges to the code I wanted to compile the original and replace the original libwebcore.so with mine to see if it works, then I will modify the code and add the language support.

So i got the source code (KA6) and i copied it over the android code (i used 2.2_r1 since Samsung told that it is what they used for the Vibrant)

For 'lunch' i selected "passion" which is for Nexus One since I don't know how I can add the Vibrant to the list or if it will make any difference in my case, since I don't need the whole ROM and I don't care about the drivers (correct me if i am wrong).

The compilation was successful, however when i swapped the libwebcore.so in my vibrant with the compiled one the browser window opens for a second or so and then closes (no Force close message)

The file size of the original libwebcore file is 5187072 but mine is 5187064 (also another user who compiled the source got the same size as mine)

I tried to use libwebcore.so files from a number of the leaked Samsung ROMs (JL5, KA6, KA7) and they all have the same size and they all work fine.

Am I missing something? or doing something wrong?

Kindly see the attached log file (I started logging just before opening the browser)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fduraibi:
Having this development related question under Q&A means it will never get answered by the developers :(

I think I will need to contact the vibrant developers and direct them to this thread.

After asking for help from many developers and on IRC channels, I got a help from a #cyanogenmod-dev user <ius> who pointed me to the missing method HttpEquivhandle" which I found to be included in a pre-compiled file libsecwebcore.a (binary) without the source code. The files is already their with samsung code, and it get linked (or merged) to the libwebcore.so during compiling, but I am not sure why it is still complaining about not finding it.
